carlos_r_33 OP

I've been trying to resolve this on my own but I'm stuck.

employer changed my status to contractor. I've been dealing with this for about 14 months now and the situation isn't improving.

I have worked at this company for 9 years. My position is exempt and I do have a written employment agreement beyond the standard offer letter.

What are my legal options here? Is it worth pursuing?

I work in this industry and unfortunately this is very common. The good news is that when people actually push back with legal representation, companies usually settle.

Been there. Here's what I learned.

What worked for me was having everything documented. It took 3-6 months but was worth it.

Been there. Here's what I learned.

The #1 mistake I see here is escalating to a supervisor/manager. I'd recommend following the formal complaint procedure instead.

I went through almost the exact same thing.

What trips people up most is having everything documented. I'd recommend keeping a detailed timeline instead.
